Kyndryl (NYSE: KD) has been recognized as a Leader in three categories of the 2026 ISG Provider Lens™ Mainframes — Services and Solutions Report: Mainframe Technology Consulting, Mainframe as a Service (MFaaS), and Application Modernization Services. The triple recognition from ISG, an independent technology research and advisory firm, positions Kyndryl among the top-tier providers supporting enterprises running mission-critical mainframe workloads through a period of compounding modernization pressure.

In the Mainframe Technology Consulting quadrant, ISG cited Kyndryl’s strategy and assessment-led methodology, its targeted infrastructure optimization approach, and its hybrid cloud integration focus. The report highlighted the role of Kyndryl Bridge and agentic AI-enabled automated discovery in delivering operational insights across discrete engagements and multi-year transformation programs alike. For MFaaS, ISG noted Kyndryl’s large global outsourcing footprint and the breadth of its consumption models, which range from customer-owned environments to shared platforms including zCloud and C4i, alongside continued investment in AI-driven autonomy and observability. In Application Modernization Services, ISG recognized the company’s end-to-end approach spanning structured assessments, iterative implementation, and hyperscaler alliances, again underpinned by Kyndryl Bridge and its governance and agentic AI capabilities.

The integration with everything else in the technology stack was built on assumptions that have since changed. The system runs critical business processes that the organization cannot operate without.
